Mine arrived yesterday from Start Fitness. It's a medium M20 in white. Now I just need to cancel my blue one from e-bikeshop!
Oh my, it's so nice though. I rode it only 100m up and down the road before pulling it apart for some upgrades/changes. With the motor turned off it really felt no different in weight to my analogue 2013 Commencal Meta SX. Mine appeared to have had the tech bulletin for the crank preload caps done already although I did the process again myself to be sure. The tubeless ready rims aren't really 'ready' because the rim tape on there isn't doing a good enough job to seal. I've given up and stuck some tubes back in for now.
Ok, so it needs tape. Good to know
Yep, otherwise as mentioned above, the tiny holes in the rim which allow water to drain out are going to leak air/fluid instead.
Can anyone advise on charging Issues. Just wondering if the Rise battery can be charged in vehicle through 12V inverter/cigarette lighter adapter etc for away trips? Likewise the range extender?
Thanks for that. I was thinking of charging while on the move with engine running in my van between venues. But it doesn’t sound too promising.Car cigarette sockets will only power a c100W inverter (fused at 10A or so at 12W). The charger is 500W.
Car battery typically about 900wh (against the 360 of the inbuilt battery) but charger and inverter both generate a fair bit of heat so they're not that efficient. Even if you could you'd probably not get more than a single charge without a flat car battery.
Thanks, sounds good. I’ll check that route out. ?I solved it by buying a power station and a solar panel. The Power Station is twice as big as a bike battery and the solar panel charges 70-90W on a sunny day
It would be even better if they hadn't emasculated the motor..!
Just sayin'. Dialling the motor down didn't make it any lighter.
Interesting, I’m the same height with an XL tans found it better removing one of the spacers as the bars felt too tallJust replaced the 5cm stem with a 6cm stem. Just a quick 5 min ride but it's amazing how much a 1cm increase can feel different. Hard to say yet if I like it or not, need to give it a proper trail ride first. I have an XL M10 and the reach has felt a bit short - I am 189cm.
The clean cockpit looks great, but now you have to reach down by the BB to switch modes? No thanks.After I lot of sweat, I got rid of the handlebar command for the motor, and put the wireless controller all the way back.
I might have to improve it, but I love the clean cockpit.
Might as well go full dangerholm with the zirbel bike controllers ? View attachment 65748 View attachment 65749
Push wouldn’t reconfigure my 11/6 for my rise, does the GG pistola have the same sizes?Test rides can be dangerous and in my brother’s case, expensive! ?
After one ride on mine, my brother had to ditch his freshly built GG trail pistola. Most of the parts were transferred and taadaa another blue Rise is born!

Mine's been shipped, should be here in a few days - stock Coal Blue/Red. I need to get the brake hoses swapped to UK setup and I would like a display rather than the little buttons...
What is the rear mudguard please pal ? CheersTest rides can be dangerous and in my brother’s case, expensive! ?

I had an edge 130 and as much as I preferred the size and look of it on the bike I had to sell on eBay as interface wise it was pretty useless unfortunately! I bought a used 520 so I can get the toolbox features. It’s not perfect though and also looks crap on the bike. Wish they’d just have used the Shimano display and incorporated the features that riders actually want and need. All a bit annoying really shame as great bike otherwiseLucky you, bet you’re excited. I’ll be using a Garmin Edge for the display on mine. The Shimano LCD will only show mode and battery as far as I can see so a Garmin will provide so much more. I already have an Edge 130 which is nice and small so hoping i can link that simple 3rd party app thats been mentioned on this forum elsewhere rather than the RS Toolbox which isn’t compatible with the 130
